I'm wanting to combine all my video cutscenes into one simple file (like the VOX files for speech and music). But I haven't found a way to do this in a format that AGS can read.
I would appreciate any ideas on how to do this.
Oh, and I'm using the PlayVideo function, not FLCs.
Thanks.
Because you cant. For Movie Video AVI files, they MUST be separate files in the game's directory, at least for now.
Dang.
OK. Thanks.
Yeah, Media Player doesn't have any method for reading videos out of a larger data file; the only solution would be for me to manually write the decompressor part of the code, which is more work than I can justify spending on this feature I'm afraid.
If your intention is to hide the videos, you can set the split resource files option, and name your videos as the next resource numbers (...,GAME.007, GAME.008,...), I've tested that with .mpg videos and it works, but I supose .avi will work too.
With this trick the player wont be tempted to see the videos and spoil the game.
Pau
Yeah, I already knew about that. I'd just like to get them into all one file, but that'll work too, for now.
Thanks anyway.
